  • Cathy Pharoah Catherine Walker
    DIRECTORY OF SOCIAL CHANGE The Values of Corporate Giving An overview of models with case studies Cathy Pharoah Catherine Walker January 2015 DIRECTORY OF SOCIAL CHANGE Preface This paper is one of two complementary reports setting out the results of new research on corporate community support. One looks at how companies seek to embody different kinds of values, in different ways, when they develop their voluntary and community sector giving programmes. The other, in the context of current interest in developing ‘big data’ to increase our insights into various market sectors, reviews and updates the state of data on corporate giving, and its potential for links with other kinds of data on companies. The research programme was funded by ESRC Research Grant Ref. ES/F034113/1. The two-paper set consists of: The Values of Corporate Giving: An overview of models with case studies by Catherine Walker, Cathy Pharoah and Meta Zimmeck, a joint CGAP-Directory of Social Change (DSC) paper, which explores through a set of case-studies the ways in which company giving today variously expresses company values. The Values of Corporate Giving: An update on key figures and trends by Meta Zimmeck and Cathy Pharoah, CGAP@Cass, which reviews the nature of methodologies used in research on corporate giving and concludes that the diverse and fragmented nature of the approaches to this topic presents a barrier to developing a coherent understanding and the scope for ‘bigger’ data. In this context, it also provides an overview of the research on motivation and values of corporate giving in companies, with an update of trends in the annual amount given.

Implications of exceeding the upper level of intake (UL) Mandatory folic acid fortification of all bread at levels of 135 µg/100 g, could potentially lead to a small percentage of individuals exceeding the Upper Level of Intake (UL) for folic acid (Table 1). The proportion of Australian and New Zealand consumers exceeding the corresponding age-specific UL is shown in Table 2. As the dietary intake assessment was redone between Draft Assessment and Final Assessment to account for the change of food vehicle (from bread-making flour to bread), any changes in exceedances above the UL have been noted. 1.1 Young children If mandatory fortification of bread with folic acid at a level of 135 µg/100 g were introduced, it is estimated that a small proportion of young children may exceed the UL – up to 7% of 2-3 year olds and 3% of 4-8 year olds.
